Thanks for your responses, guys. That was very helpful. I've never dealt with UMs, so I had no clue.

FC on both flights are open except row one. He's going 3/28 to 4/6. The way back only has FC open right now (and some disabled and the choices, all the premiums are even gone), so I don't see him in FC for the way back.

On the way out is more open in coach, but with row 1 already gone, I'm thinking probably not ...
